If you are making plans to float, head over to the Wenatchee River to cool off!
Icicle Creek is too low to float!
River recreation season is in full swing, but Icicle Creek’s flow is already too low for safe and responsible floating. Instead, head to the Wenatchee River!
Why Wenatchee, not Icicle?
➡️Steelhead fry are emerging from the riverbed—dragging tubes and feet can disturb their delicate gravel habitat
➡️Low water means less floating and more walking over slippery rocks (not as fun, trust us!)
